Hi Everyone,
I have to admit I am on a major Fruit Loops kick. When I was in training in Napa Valley a couple of weeks ago, for breakfast they had boxes of cereal out and I saw Fruit Loops. I haven’t had them in years. I knew I would be hungry mid morning, so I took a box for my snack. I like to eat them plain with no milk. Well the craving came on more and more and every morning I would steal a few boxes of Fruit Loops. With my new-found craving I thought I would make Fruit Loops treats today.
These treats are sweet, fruity and perfect for making with kids. Plus it’s a fast treat to make. It’s made with marshmallow, butter and Fruit Loops Cereal. It’s the same basic recipe as Rice Krispie treats but made with Fruit Loops instead.
The recipe makes 24 bars and are only 77 calories each. I don’t think that is to bad for a sugary treat. To make; I just melted butter and marshmallows together, stir in the cereal and put in an 9 x 13 baking pan. How easy is that? It took me less than 10 minutes to make the recipe. The hardest part was waiting for them to harden up so I can cut them up and eat them. My bars are about 1 1/2″ in height, but if you like thick bars, you can add them to a 9 x 9 brownie pan. I like the shorter version, more to have for lunches.
- 3 tbsp. butter or margarine
- 10oz package of miniature marshmallows
- 6 cups Fruit Loops cereal
- Spray a 9 x 13 baking pan with cooking spray; set a side.
- In a large pot, over medium low heat add butter and melt. Once butter is melted add marshmallows and stir constantly until melted. Take off heat and quickly stir in the Fruit Loops cereal.
- Pour cereal mixture into prepared pan and smooth out with a spatula sprayed with cooking spray. You can also spray your hands with cooking spray and push cereal down into pan.
- Cool completely before cutting into bars.
I know this is a simple, random recipe, but it’s a perfect childhood treat. I was excited to make them and even more excited to eat them.
Have a great week!
Toodles,
Jennifer

you spelled froot loops wrong.
Really – does it matter? It was a great recipe and you feel the need to criticise spelling of fruit / froot! Why not say thank you instead as you may be happier sharing kindness instead of criticism!!! To the person who shared this – thank you!! It was such an easy recipe to make for a last minute cake sale.
I AGREE!! WHY PICK ON SOMETHING THAT DOES NOT MATTER? Really? Sad world. Understand if you did it to actually help and stated something kind but you did it because thats the type of person you are!
Ive made these before and YUMMO! Going to use trix next time and the apple jacks. Have you used golden grahams and semi sweet chocolate morsels to make SMORES? You make them the same way as yours, when mixing to place in bowl while not as hot stir in chocolate so it doesnt melt. THEY ARE SOOOO GOOD. Looky there I spelled so wrong. Have a fantastic day!
Those changes sound great! I’ll definitely do it with Golden Grahams & dark chocolate!! In your words “YUMMO”! Thanks
Y’all are freaking KARENS, god, you really finna be that oblivious? I mean as far as I’m concerned it’s probably a kid, which I know, because I’m a kid to, and you are being so much ruder Jesé
Either way you spell it they taste the same !
This is a great point. The misspelling has ruined the cereal as a whole for me. The replies advocating for the wrong spelling make me realize that maybe there isn’t light at the end of this dark tunnel.
Cereal bars were good, 5/7
I just bought the FROOT LOOPS cereal to make this and the box spells this cereal FROOT LOOPS!
So check your facts before you comment.
Great recipe, easy and the kids loved it!
My daughter and I just finished making these with the new Unicorn loops for her Girl Scout meeting tomorrow. They are cute and will be fun for 8 1st graders. A nice easy recipe for a weeknight! Thanks!
Seriously who made u grammar police haven’t u made a spelling mistake u just jelly cause u didn’t think it first I’m going to spell it that way
Love this recipe it was really good thanks for sharing it with us
Awesome great quick recipe
Thanks for the recipe .. my daughter is obsessed with fruit loops
You’re welcome! One of my favorite cereals too!
How long does it generally take to harden. My daughter is loopy for fruit loops and she’s sick so I mad them. Just waiting now.
This is a great recipe! I didn’t have (fruit/froot) for those who want to criticize spelling. So I used Apple Jack’s. Turned out amazing and my little ones love them. Thank you for the recipe.
Love this idea. I make “froot Loop candy” (mix a box with vanilla almond bark). I’m gonna use your recipe an dip one end in the almond bark and sprinkle with pretty sprinkles 😍. Thanks for sharing!!
Thank you for this super easy recipe. And when I read the comment that you spelled Fruit wrong, who cares. It’s a sad world when people make ridiculous comments over the incorrect spelling of one word.
i really liked this recipe! super easy, and delicious. thanks!
My granddaughter and I made these today, and we were so excited to do..i this together, she said I love this taste as she licked the spoon. Thank you for your share!
Hi! Me Says…How many ounces of semi chocolate morsels do you use in your Golden Graham Smores Recipe? Thanks! 🙂
Thanks for the Recipe Jennifer, they are yummy! 🙂
10 ounces of marshmallows…is that two cups?
Sorry for the late reply, I would say a little over two cups?
